, 6. Follicular phase - ANS ✔-the follicles in the ovary grow and form a
mature egg.
-The goal of this phase is to produce an ovum for fertilization.
-starts on day 1 of the menstrual cycle and continues until ovulation,
approximately 10 to 14 days later.
7. Ovulation - ANS ✔a mature follicle ruptures in response *to a surge
of LH,* releasing a mature oocyte (ovum).
This usually occurs on day 14 in a 28-day cycle
8. Luteal phase - ANS ✔begins at ovulation and lasts until the
menstrual phase of the next cycle.
It typically occurs on days 15 through 28
After the follicle ruptures as it releases the egg, it closes and forms a corpus
luteum.
9. Menstrual cycle - ANS ✔proliferative phase
Secretory phase
Ischemic phase
Menstrual phase

, 10. Proliferative phase - ANS ✔corresponds to the follicular
stage.
Increasing amounts of estrogen
Endometrium gets thicker
Starts on about day 5 till ovulation
11. Secretory phase - ANS ✔day 15-28
Goes with the luteal phase
The endometrium becomes thickened and more vascular (growth of the
spiral arteries) and glandular (secretion of more glycogen and lipids).
12. Ischemic phase - ANS ✔if fertilization does not occur
Estrogen and progesterone levels drop
Ischemia leads to shedding of endometrium resulting in blood flow
13. Menstrual phase - ANS ✔begins as the spiral arteries rupture
secondary to ischemia, releasing blood into the uterus, and the
sloughing of the endometrial lining begins.
14. Beginning of fatal life occurs - ANS ✔when sperm and ovum

gonadotropin
Human placental lactogen
Progesterone
Estrogen
19. Human chorionic gonadotropin - ANS ✔maintains the
corpus letus and is produced early (hcg is what pregnancy tests
detect)
20. Human placental lactogen - ANS ✔regulates glucose
availability for the foetus
